The usual end for school hols

The kids are getting on well with each other now istead of the constant bickering at the start of the hols and of course one of them had to catch a cold. Poor Alex fell asleep just before tea and woke up looking with watery eyes and sniffing and sneezing. He's lost his appetite as well, thankfully we had chicken noodle soup in the kitchen cupboards.

Today was another busy doing not a lot day. Bit of shopping, bit of reading, preschool for Beth, cooking and cleaning. The usual stuff. Oh, I discovered that all the kids like lamb chops! First time in ages that they all like something. Why they didn't like it the last time I served them lamb chops I don't know and fingers crossed that they'll like it next time.

The weather here has been warm and sunny the last couple of days, almost spring like. I have the urge to get out in the garden but the ground is far too wet. I did pull out some weeds between the path and the shed yesterday and the lawn was mowed so it looks a little better. Can't wait for spring to arrive!
